  Just a little anecdote illustrating how out of touch the typical JW is

  this weeks book study lesson was on martha, the sister of lazarus.

  the chapter in the "imitate their faith" book praised her for being "industrious".. the conductor at our congregation meeting was just positively gushing about how "industrious" modern-day jw women are.. he was so exciting, he could barely get the words out.

  following is not an exact quote, but conveys the gist:.

  Excellent point sir82.

  However, you cannot allow the sisters to imitate bisexual worldly women, can you?

  I see that the inside of the ark in the gift shop does not have two stories. No smelly animals either. You need smelly animals for ambience.

  this site is such a great and valuable resource and simon is to be commended for running it for so long.

  when i first came i was in such a bad state and really needed support and friendship.

  so many posters commented on my threads and showed genuine care some are real life friends, some are facebook friends, some i talk to on the phone and some are forum friends.. i have just realised though that everyone online is not your friend.

  rebelfighter:
  

  Please take this as constructive criticism. You do have some very good post with some very good points. I can also come across very stern at times when I need to in my line of business and my clients understand what is being said must be followed.
  

  I too can be an a-hole though I justify it when the other person is being really dense and offensive. I do take to constructive criticism though.

  For the sake of Hades I don't know why you, Kate, got seven dislikes for your first post. But I'm glad to see you're doing better.

  What would you like to have known about JWs before deciding whether to get baptised?

  by slimboyfat in

  if you could go back in time and tell yourself one thing about jws would you do it?

  and what would you choose to say to yourself?

  do you think you could have convinced yourself not to get baptised if you chose the right thing to say?

  " you will never grow old..." a more grievous lie is hard to imagine.

  i heard this one first in 1957. i was 6. my mother had just converted.

  i heard it many times after that.

  You're going to grow old and gray

  And if you ever have children so will they

  So remember me on this very day

  When in defiance of your false prophet

  I lift up my voice and say

  You, your children and their grandchildren

  Are going to grow old and gray

  All of you who follow the Watchtower way

  Do not look upon tomorrow with conceit and arrogance

  For you will be humbled, bowing, no more haughty stance

  Just remember me on that future day

  When you finally have grown old and gray

  Remember your foolish lie

  When it's time for you to die

  I have a favor to ask. I need to find a statement that was in one of the magazines, but I can't find it now. Can you help?

  i have a favor to ask.

  i need some information found in a watchtower that i can't seem to find in my library.

  today, the watchtower teaches that the governing body is the faithful slave.

  Finkelstein: Really VI, did he say that ???
  

  Yes, I shitteth you not. Angus Stewart asked him but it seems that he did not have the documentation to contradict Jackson's damned lie.

  And Geoffrey Jackson told the ARC that it would be presumptuous of them to claim they're God's channel of communication.
